“It’s really easy to do. Just start a listing, and before you know it, you’re making a sale and your phone is going off, and it’s one of the most addictive and exciting things.”

Cherie Harrison

“We sell, on eBay, pine needle baskets from Nicaragua, made out of recycled rice and feed bags. We wanted it to be something that would make a difference in people’s lives. eBay has enabled me to present the product that our artisans make to the world.”

Glenn Roland Fadner, III

“I sold all my clothes that were designer or brand name, perfumes, jewelry, stuffed animals, anything. On eBay I work about 12 to 15 hours a week, [and earn] about $30,000 a year!”

Sonya Lee Han

Still got questions? No problem.

You might be new to the selling thing. We get it. Here are just a few questions that are frequently asked by our first time sellers.

I’m pretty busy. How long will it take to get my stuff up on eBay?

We realize you want to sell your stuff right now. Our quick listing tool makes selling on eBay a snap. Once you’re signed into your eBay account, you’ll find guidance and tips that will help you list your item fast. Don’t have an account yet? It’s easy to set up an eBay account.

Is it really free to list?

Most of the time, yes! All eBay sellers get 50 free listings every month, and it’s just 30 cents a listing if you go beyond that. You only pay seller fees when your stuff sells, which is a small percentage of the final price. Learn more about final value fees.

I want everyone to see my stuff. How do I do that?

Now you sound like a seller! Helping buyers find your stuff begins with a great listing. Take great photos (you can post 12 of them for free), write a descriptive title, and describe your item with as much detail as you can. Do that and you’ll definitely increase your chances.

How do I get the best price for my item?

You can decide to go for an auction-style or a fixed-price listing, and we'll help you decide the best way to list your stuff. Auction-style listings can be exciting, and you may earn a higher than expected price this way. With a fixed-price listing, you decide how much your stuff is worth. This might help sell it more quickly.

Selling sounds easy, but how do I get paid?

Once your item sells on eBay, all payments are safely and securely handled by PayPal for an additional fee. If you’ve got an account, great! Just link it to your listing and your buyer will send the money to this account. Be patient, because it may take a little time for your buyer to send payment after purchase. If you don't have one yet, it's easy to set up a PayPal account.

What happens after my stuff sells? I still have to ship it out, right?

Naturally! But we help you out there, too. You can print labels with postage right at home for shipping discounts up to 25% off. We even include some tips on how other sellers package and ship similar items. You can also sell your item with local pickup in mind -- just arrange a pickup time and location with your buyer after they’ve paid for the item.

Wait, eBay Valet? I can have someone else sell my stuff?

That’s right, you don’t have to do the legwork if you don’t want to. There are selling experts ready to do all the work. You can send your eligible stuff to valets, and for an additional fee, these experts will do their very best to sell your stuff. Learn more about eBay Valet.
